Had a day off work yesterday (Friday) and my Wife and I took a trip over to Windsor which is a few miles from where we live. We parked up in the great-park and walked into town from there (about 4 km) Entertainment and exercise ticked off in one go! In the photo is the Eton bridge (1824), and glorious it was too in the late September sunshine! The river was quite busy, lot's of leisure boats milling around and quite a few tourists in the town as well which was surprising, anyway, we had a nice mooch and ended up in a relatively new and previously unexplored (for us) craft-beer joint on St. Leonards road called "A Hoppy Place". It was nice and fortunately almost empty which meant it was quite relaxing, had a couple of halves in there and then strolled back to the car, up the long-walk and through the park.
Here we are in "A Hoppy Place" sampling a couple of the brews they had on tap, on the left is a West Coast IPA called "Oregon Trail" made by Berkshire brewer Elusive and on the right another local brew by Siren called "Lumina" a beer that I've tried before. The Elusive brew was lovely, a classic pine and citrus combo with a solid core of bitterness as per the style, must see if I can grab some cans of this from the brewery shop!
